I became obsessed with finding a 1955, took about 2 years to find the first but then they just kept coming. Probably had another 7 or so but sold them over the years..
Rob, that's one of the most impressive birth year collections I've ever seen. Do you smoke them at special times or are they just in the rotation with others?

Truth be told I don't smoke much anymore, I just enjoy collecting. I'll smoke any one of them from time to time, I don't have a set rotation.

I've been drastically pairing down my collection to fund my fishing boat and a house renovation.

I like the priorities! Where's your boat?

Root Briar 41011 1977

Acquired in July this year, but I didn’t feel comfortable firing her up until November. I guess I didn’t feel my smoking chops were up to the task until recently. Whether it’s the marketing or actual Dunnie magic, she smokes beautifully, and I enjoy her thoroughly every time.

That's a beautiful grain pattern, for certain. I know you are proud to have this. Enjoy...........
